Sorry newfies lol for the swearing and I know I must look like an extra from a certain science fiction movie, but its been an amazing discovery.Probably the biggest dampener on my shooting in the last few years has been the lack of sharp focus in my vision, I have to use reading glasses now, about average in strength, and it's really affected my shooting. Stock sights like the no1mk3 are out of the question for target shooting, and even the no4 type isn't easy either.

I bought these gimmick glasses from a chinese $2 shop a few months ago, they're promoted as being for strengthening ones eyesight and eventually getting rid of your glasses one day. But...I just tried them out over the top of a couple of rifles, one with stock no1 mk3 sights, and one with a PH5A ,and incredibly the rear sight and front sights are in sharp focus, with the far away target also in either sharp focus or just slightly soft focus. The last time I saw rifle sights so clearly and in simultaneous sharp focus I was 15 years old. I can't wait to try this out at the range, and just had to pass this potentially great news along.
I know they cut a bit of brightness down, so a bright sunny day is going to be ideal, and with the PH5A sight also being a little aperture to look through, very similar to the glasses, its not quite as easy to get a good sight picture as with open stock sights, I had to move my head around to get some of the peep holes to line up.

I know that aperture sights are supposed to have the same effect but I don't get the same clarity or sharpness I just did, at last I have an option to shooting with scopes and I'm really happy it looks like I can get my stock sighted rifles out again. Yahoo.

Anyone else can verify?
